Artiste:
Come on... guys!!
It is nice to be dreaming of a DREAMY GAY WORLD!! But let's wake up to the reasons Annie and or the BM movie was made!! They talk about ANTI-GAY time then and NOW and the FUTURE!!
Review it?
Hugs!

Artiste, are you misunderstanding the meaning of anti gay? Confusing the term with homophobic.? The
movie does show a great deal of that behavior and prejudice. That basically is the object of the film. To show
how two young men could be totally in love. And not be able to make that love happen rightly, because
of homophobia....That is the whole point of the movie...
Homophobia is a real and insidious behavior and thought..It hides its ugly head, until a fortutious chance
appears for it to act. That is partly on the wane, and as you have said also the part that is rising is probably
very insidious and hidden. Therefor very dangerous. All we can do is educate, and try to change it as much
as we can...Changing one heart at a time...

Thanks ifyoucantfixit!
I do think like you that to try to change one at a time... is a good way towards humanity!
However, there are also other means: one must demand laws, pass them and use them too; otherwise, criminals will murder more and more gays and get away with it, as too many do now in our democratic societies! And too much of that useless murderings is also in so-called social countries now, like the islamic ones who kill gay by lining them up!
The BM film is, I feel and I find, a warning against us gay men being murdered just because we are gay persons!! Indeed!! I do not see that as over-reaching the reserve of that movie? To me, the movie warns us of the anti-gays groups (like islam) being more and more important even in our democratic countries!! Do you see that?
Hugs!
